Description of Terminology
Photography
Depiction software will take care of the profession photography of our client’s products to ensure the best images available. Our clients will need to provide us with a board with the product installed or attached. There needs to be a large enough sample of the products pattern to allow for proper seamless textures to be developed. Our clients can provide the photography, but we highly discourage this. Our experience is that it requires more time and expense on our client’s part to get the best results. If you would like to see a sample of the effects of proper and improper photography just click on the following link:

Seamless Textures
If it is determined that the client cannot provide Depiction software with proper seamless textures, will need to create them from client supplied digital images or photographs we will take. Seamless textures are images of our clients products that are specially created to allow us to apply them to an image without them looking as if the pattern is repeating. If you would like to see a sample of a seamless texture click on the following link:
Image library
Depiction software will take seamless textures and create a library of these textures in all combinations of colors, combinations and variations. This will be used in the final interactive product demonstration, website and Custom imaging software.
Interactive Product Demonstration
This is a way for your company to show the various products and combinations of products on your website, from your computer or from a CD disc. You have the ability to choose various background pictures that will best display your products and we will customize a computer program to allow any variation or combination of your products to be applied to these images. The end user is able to click on the product they want to be displayed and it will appear on the background image. This demo requires the creation of an image library.

Custom Imaging Program
This customized software application is similar to the Interactive Product Demonstration, but takes the concept one step further. This will allow your dealer, sales person or website visitor to apply your products to their own image. This is what will really close the deal. The ability for your customer to see your products in their own situations is the key to customer satisfaction and sets your company apart from the competition. This requires the creation of an image library. If you would like to see a sample of a customized imaging program click on the following link: www.depictionsoftware.com/stardek_demo.swf
